A written request referral signed by the Deputy Commissioner for Resource Management Group, the Assistant Commissioner for Human Resource Development Service or the Regional Director is also required.
- Discounts. Room occupancy gets a FIFTY PERCENT (50%) discount. Laboratory (except blood related procedures), pulmonary (except the embedded Professional Fee in ABG) and x-ray (except handling fee) services get THIRTY PERCENT (30%).
